There is a link at the top of the page that says "hide guide text".
If you click that link, you should find that the page you are editing
is almost exactly how things will look.  The goal is to make it
unnecessary to have the preview option, because you're editing
the preview.  It is also fine to save changes and then keep editing
if that's how you want to work.  I plan to add a second copy of the
link to the bottom, next to the "Save Changes" button, so that it
is easier to notice.

Just type enter.  The \Q were an artifact of the old submit
form and shouldn't be necessary anymore.

Thanks for reporting this.  I changed the link (and all the others
that are linked from that page) so that it opens in a new window
or tab instead of taking you away from your edits.
